Movie Reviews of Where Are All the UFOs?
Movie Review: A truly outstanding UFO documentary...
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the problems which confronts anyone who wants to seriously study the UFO phenomenon is learning which books and documentaries on the subject can be trusted, and which books and documentaries are done by con artists or "true believers" who take obviously fake UFO stories or videos and claim they're the "real thing". Sadly, the "sham" UFO documentaries tend to greatly outnumber the reliable ones. However, this marvelous UFO documentary - created by the A&E Network - is probably the single best documentary I've ever seen on the subject of UFOs. Narrated by Michael Dorn (who played the Klingon "Worf" on "Star Trek: The Next Generation") and released in 1997, it was also released on VHS under the title of "UFOs: Encounters and Abductions". The video's strengths lie in the superb history of the UFO phenomenon it offers to viewers. It starts with the first famous UFO sighting in America in 1947 (and it wasn't Roswell). In June 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold spotted nine disk-shaped objects flying near Mt. Rainier in Washington State; his sighting was given wide publicity and is considered the starting point of the UFO phenomenon in America. This documentary offers some rare audio footage from a radio interview Kenneth Arnold did a few days after his sighting. The documentary then examines in-depth the famous "Roswell UFO Crash", and traces the major UFO sightings since the 1940's. It explores the US Air Force's top-secret "Project Blue Book" investigation into UFOs in the fifties and sixties, and looks at the modern "crop circles" and "alien abduction" phenomena. The documentary even explores UFOs as a pop-culture fad, and gives the viewer an amusing look at the self-proclaimed "contactees" of the fifties - they were people who claimed to be in contact with friendly, humanoid "Space Brothers" who wanted to save the Earth from nuclear war (some of these people were simply con artists; others were, well, just weird).
The documentary also explores some scientific theories which could explain some UFO-related phenomena, such as "Earthlights", which are caused by stress along earthquake faults, and "sleep paralysis", which could explain some "alien abduction" stories. What makes this documentary particularly reliable is its admirable emphasis on balance - it includes both the UFO "believer" and UFO "skeptic" viewpoints. The documentary features interviews with some of the best-known and most respected "Ufologists" and skeptics. Jerome Clark, Dr. Kevin Randle, Dr. Mark Rodeghier, and Dr. Michael Swords are all prominent ufologists who are featured, and among the skeptics is Curtis Peebles, an aviation historian for the Smithsonian Institution. Peebles argues that just as fairies or witches were the myths of earlier historical eras, so UFOs are a "modern myth"; naturally the ufologists disagree and offer their views and assessments. If you're interested in watching a truly serious, balanced, and well-made study of the UFO phenomenon, then "Where Are All The UFOs?" is easily one of the best documentaries you can buy. Highly Recommended!
Summary of Where Are All the UFOs?
Thousands of people say they have seen them. Hundreds of people claim they have been kidnapped by them. In 1947, a pilot made the first reported UFO sighting a formation of disks flying over Mount Rainier at speeds over 1,200 miles per hour. Within weeks, UFO accounts began flooding in including now-famous reports of an alien crash and U.S. military cover-up in Roswell, New Mexico. By 1961, UFO mania had taken a new twist: under hypnosis, people began relating detailed stories of abductions by aliens. Could these sightings and memories be a part of Cold War hysteria? Or the result of high-tech government experiments? Are officials hiding something? This comprehensive program examines all the evidence including shocking photographs and films, eyewitness interviews and precise simulations to create the ultimate UFO dossier.Documentary DVD Video
